Harira 2 Preparation

(Moroccan Chicken, Chick-Pea, and Lentil Soup) A marvelous vegetarian harira sampled at the United Nations” Delegates Dining Room-prepared by chef Mohamed Boussaoud, from the hotel La Mamounia in Marrakech-provided the inspiration for the following chicken-based version. In Morocco this soup is often made with lamb as well as chicken and is traditionally served after sundown during the month of Ramadan to break each day”s fast. In a heavy kettle (at least 5 quarts) simmer chicken in broth and water 17 to 20 minutes, or until chicken is just cooked through, and transfer chicken with a slotted spoon to a cutting board. Add to kettle tomatoes, saffron, onions, chick-peas, rice, and lentils and simmer, covered, 30 minutes, or until lentils are tender. Shred chicken, discarding skin and bones, and stir into soup with salt and pepper to taste. Soup may be prepared 4 days ahead (cool uncovered before chilling covered). Just before serving, stir in coriander and parsley. TO COOK DRIED CHICK-PEAS dried chick-peas, picked over water In a bowl soak chick-peas in water to cover by 2 inches overnight or quick-soak (procedure follows) and drain. In a saucepan combine drained chick-peas and water to cover by 2 inches and simmer, covered partially, 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until tender. Drain chick-peas. To make 2 cups cooked chick-peas begin with a scant cup dried. TO QUICK-SOAK DRIED BEANS Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less but requires additional unattended time. In a large saucepan combine dried beans, picked over and rinsed, with triple their volume of cold water. Bring the water to a boil and cook beans, uncovered, over moderate heat 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let beans soak 1 hour. Makes about 12 cups. Gourmet March 1994 on Mar 05, 1998
